I think most of us have seen a scene like this
and we have a "double-take". This one was in front of my
house one day...He really looked like he was ready to
drive off as soon as the passenger came back.

The bird and the cat.
Thinking about some of my family today, so I added a parakeet.
Why? Well, my grandma had a little blue parakeet for years
that she taught to talk. It would ask her" Whatcha doin'
Vernie?, Whatcha cookin?, Love ya Vernie and some other things.
That bird was her treasure.

Here is a small item from one of my future retro-vintage still lifes.
I thought it would be fun to do some of my old wind ups!
I did some of them over three years ago and since I am
now doing some more elaborate settings, I decided that
I would spotlight a few fun items. I have always been a BIG
fan of science fiction and fantasy. It seems to be the
place for the mind to imagine that anything is possible!
